Blizzard '67: 4 Men Struggle to Survive Chicago's Worst Storm

Full Price:
$32.00
Our Price:
SOLD OUT

It's the 45th anniversary of the infamous storm that shut down Chicago for five days, and world premiere play Blizzard '67 captures the chilling intensity of that time. Set in the glamorous, fast-paced Loop of the late '60s, the story follows four high-power businessmen whose daily cutthroat competition takes a backseat to a struggle for survival when they find themselves trapped in the most fearsome blizzard Chicago has ever known. If they don't overcome their corporate rivalries and come together as a team, they'll be left out in the cold. Blizzard '67 is written by resident playwright Jon Steinhagen, winner of the 2009 Julie Harris Playwriting Award. Learn More
